I think Bush lied about getting a flu shot.
Remember where Bush said that he hasn't had and will not get a flu shot this year?

Does anybody else think that's a load of crap?

I believe the POTUS has to be immunized against everything for national security reasons, and I'm betting he had his flu shot weeks ago.

1. You're right....
Dick gave it to him with his Flinstone's Vitamin and glass of warm milk before bed.

6. i remember thinking that at the time...
...yes, I think America would EXPECT and want him to get a flu shot for national security, etc. and also add to that the time on the campaign trail, kissing babies, shaking hands, etc.

7. Where was he on Sept. 11? Hiding in a classroom?
Edited on Fri Oct-15-04 08:35 PM by SemiCharmedQuark
He'll push every woman and child out of the way he has to to get a flu shot. If it were a good president I would want him too...our president has a responsibility to keep himself healthy and out of harm's way...this is why Madison made a biggie mistake going out like a hero during the war of 1812.

8. My mom was ranting about this for about an hour today
Of course, he's a guy who will lie about anything. He also claims to be 6'1"; maybe he's shrunk two or three inches since taking office. :eyes:

10. I didn't believe him either. The only way he can satisfy
my mistrust is to get the f%$#ing flu.

11. That was the stupidest thing I heard him say
Even though he's an idiot, he's still the misleader of the free world. You don't want the American President laid up with the flu, when a $12 shot could have prevented it.
On the other hand, I think he's just used to people doing things all around him, without him actually knowing what's going on...

12. On this one he may be telling the truth
He seems to have an dislike of physicians lately. At least regarding his yearly physical.

13. He refused to take his physical this year. However, since I have
yet to hear the truth come out of his mind, I would say he has the shot.

14. Flu Shot
Are there any medical reasons why a doctor would not give a flu shot? Just a thought.... no physical, no flu shot? Could there be a connection?

15. wow, 6'1...I thought I was the only one who ever noticed
he lied about that. He looks no taller than 5'10...sometimes shorter. In any case it's amazing bullshit can pile that high without falling over

18. his campaign site, and even his med report, says he's 6'
But in the Pelosi interviews, he states right-out that he's 5'11".

The Incredible Shrinking President?

Re: piling up the BS, it's even more freakish to think that the stack doesn't even have the central support that a spine would provide!

16. Bush's handlers probably disinfect the carefully screened...
audience before he shakes hands with them. Then, his staff whisks him off to a decontamination booth and double-checks that his shoes never touched soil (just in case he slipped off the pavement).

This may be the only thing Boy George has told the truth about. He probably hasn't gotten a flu shot.

17. Didn’t * get CIPO weeks before anthrax killer???

Not sure if Cipo (?) is the right name, but didn’t Bush and the WH staff get drugs for anthrax before the anthrax attacks hit??

19. Cipro. Yes, they did.
But that isn't suspicious at all. Nope. Nothing to see here, Citizen. Move along.

22. He's flip-flopped and lied on so many other issues... and, yes,
as Prez, he definitely would get every immunization under the sun.
